Let’s travel to Stonehenge. This famous stone circle is located in the Salisbury Plain about three hours from London. It’s close enough to visit in a day, and we’re going to show you exactly how. We chose to take a Stonehenge Inner Circle Tour, which is the only way to go inside the stone circle. …
Iceland is widely considered an excellent destination for whale watching. This is largely due to the variety of whales, including Humpbacks and Orcas, that call Iceland home and the frequency with which they’re spotted. To have the best chance of seeing a whale up close, you’ll want to meet the whales where they are: in …
Egypt is not super tourist friendly, despite tourism being one of the leading sources of income in the country. Everything is spread out, there’s very little posted information at the sights (and even less is in English) and tourist pricing can be a real scam. Traveling on your own is possible (we did it a …
Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one still standing. An engineering marvel, a testament of human strength and ingenuity and a fascinating window into the Egyptian civilizations that ruled the land over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid towers over the desert landscape of Giza. …
If you don’t think of beach paradise when you think of Vietnam (I wouldn’t blame you, but …), you’d be missing out on so much of what the amazing country of Vietnam has to offer. Vietnam has something for everyone, from the metropolitan hub of Ho Chi Minh City to the spastic streets of Hanoi, …

We did it! We hiked 26 miles along historical Inca trails to Machu Picchu! I can’t believe this journey is already over. I’ve been looking forward to this since we booked the hike back in February, and the experience exceeded every expectation. I wanted to take you along with us on this journey. This is a …
We ditched Medellin for a day and jumped on a bus to explore some of the small towns outside the city limits. While Guatape was the tour’s namesake, we saw so much more than that and actually spent very little time in the town itself (the one complaint we had about this tour). While you …
Medellin is a proud city. The Antioquia region (where Medellin is located) has 300+ years of amazing history, including gold mining, coffee production, and so much more. But people don’t think of that when they think of Medellin. Instead, they remember the past 40 years when the city became plagued with drug cartels and crime, …
Maybe it’s the barista in me still, but when I hear Colombia, I think coffee. So visiting a coffee farm was an absolute must-do while we were in Medellin. We went on the Coffee Farm Tour with Toucan Cafe & Tours and would absolutely recommend them if you’re ever in the area. The tour took …
